Overview

Fairview Manor has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and falls in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #418 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #15 out of 18 in Erie County, indicating there are better options nearby. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 6 in 2025.

Based on review of facility policy and clinical records, and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure physician's orders and resident Pennsylvania Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST- a legal document specifying the resident/responsible party choices regarding life-sustaining treatments) were consistent for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident R29). Findings include: Facility policy entitled Pennsylvania Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment policy (POLST) dated 12/4/24, indicated the purpose is to guide staff in providing care appropriate to the residents or surrogates wishes. It further stated that if a person is admitted with a POLST, it will be honored. If a person does not have one on admission, one will be completed with the person or surrogate. Resident R29's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/9/25, with diagnoses that included kidney failure (kidneys are no longer able to work therefore cannot filter waste and toxins from the blood), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD - a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus [tube that passes food from the mouth into the stomach]), and high blood pressure. Resident R29's clinical recorded revealed a physician's order dated 3/11/25, for Full Code (staff to implement Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation [CPR] -emergency life-saving procedure that is done when breathing or a heartbeat has stopped and when performed immediately can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest). Resident R29's care plans revealed a care plan indicating Full Code. Resident R29's clinical record revealed a POLST dated 3/14/25, signed by both Resident R29 and his/her physician indicating DNR / Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (allow natural death). During an interview with the Director of Nursing on 4/10/25, at 11:50 a.m. he/she confirmed Resident R29's physician's orders, POLST, and care plan were not consistent with each other. He/she also confirmed that Resident R29's physician's orders, POLST and care plan should reflect Resident R29's Advance Directive wishes and be consistent with each other. 28 Pa.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on review of Minimum Data Set (MDS - federally mandated standardized assessment conducted at specific intervals to plan resident care), clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure that the MDS assessment accurately reflected the status for one of 23 residents reviewed (Resident R29). Findings include: Review of MDS instructions for Section H Bladder and Bowel subsection H0300 Urinary Continence indicated that urinary continence is to be coded as not rated if during the seven day look-back period the resident had an indwelling bladder catheter (tubing from the bladder to drain urine into the bag), condom catheter, ostomy, or no urine output for the entire seven days. Resident R29's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/9/25, with diagnoses that included kidney failure (kidneys are no longer able to work therefore cannot filter waste and toxins from the blood), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD - a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus [tube that passes food from the mouth into the stomach]), and high blood pressure. Resident R29's clinical record revealed he/she had an Indwelling Catheter at the time of admission on [DATE]. Resident R29's admission MDS with Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 3/16/25, Subsection H0100 Appliances was coded as Indwelling Catheter and Subsection H0300 Urinary Continence was coded as Occasionally Incontinent, Medicare-5 day MDS with ARD of 3/16/25 Subsection H0100 Appliances was coded as Indwelling Catheter and Subsection H0300 Urinary Continence was coded as Always Incontinent, although Resident R29 had an indwelling catheter for the entire seven-day look-back period. During an interview on 4/10/25, at 2:00 p.m. Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator confirmed that the 3/16/25 MDS's were coded inaccurately and urinary continence should have been coded as not rated for Resident R29. 28 Pa.

Based on review of clinical records and staff interview, it was determined that the facility failed to obtain a physician's order for hospice services for one of four hospice residents reviewed (Resident R107). Findings include: Resident R107's clinical record revealed an admission date of 1/10/25, with diagnoses that included Cerebral Infarction (a condition where a part of the brain is damaged or dies due to a lack of blood supply), Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib - irregular and often rapid heartbeat that can lead to stroke, heart failure, and other complications), and constipation. Resident R107's clinical record revealed he/she was readmitted to the facility from the hospital on 3/28/25. Review of the hospital records revealed that Resident R107 was returning to the facility with hospice services provided by a hospice agency. Resident R107's clinical record contained documentation from the hospice agency that identified services were being provided while a resident at the facility. Further review revealed his/her clinical record lacked a physician's order for hospice services. During an interview on 4/09/25, at approximately 12:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that there was no documented evidence of a physician's order for the hospice services that Resident R107 had been receiving from the hospice agency since his/her return to the facility on 3/28/25. 28 Pa.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on a review of facility policy and clinical records, observations, and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow acceptable infection control practices regarding enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) during observations for one of eight residents reviewed (Resident R29). Findings include: Facility policy entitled Enhanced Barrier Precautions dated 12/4/24, indicated it is the intent of the facility to use Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) in addition to Standard Precautions for residents to prevent transmission of MDRO's (Multidrug Resistant Organisms - a germ resistant to many antibiotics). The policy further stated that EBP may be considered for the following situations: indwelling medical devices (e.g., central line, urinary catheter, feeding tube, tracheostomy/ventilator). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines Enhanced Barrier Precautions as an infection control intervention designed to reduce transmission of MDRO's using an approach of isolation gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities including catheter and central line care. CDC further indicates that facilities should post clear signage indicating EBP requirements, and ensure easy access to gowns, gloves, and alcohol-based hand rub. Resident R29's clinical record revealed an admission date of 3/9/25, with diagnoses that included kidney failure (kidneys are no longer able to work therefore cannot filter waste and toxins from the blood), gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD - a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus [tube that passes food from the mouth into the stomach]), and high blood pressure. Resident R29's clinical record revealed he/she had a PICC line (peripherally inserted central catheter - a long flexible thin tubing inserted into a vein in your upper arm then threaded to a central vein near your heart used to administer medications), and an indwelling catheter (tubing inserted into the bladder to drain urine) at time of admission on [DATE]. Resident R29's physician's order failed to include an order for EBP. Observations on 4/08/25, at 2:00 p.m. and 4/09/25, at 1:00 p.m. revealed Resident R29 sitting in a chair in his/her room with a capped PICC Line to the right upper arm and an indwelling catheter that was covered and positioned below the bladder. Observation of Resident R29's room revealed that there was no signage alerting persons entering the room of EBP for infection control and no personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and gowns available inside or outside of the room for use. During an interview on 4/09/25, at 2:15 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that Resident 29's room lacked signage of EBP and appropriate PPE, such as gloves and gowns, when providing care for residents who have an indwelling urinary catheter and PICC line, and that signage should have been posted and PPE should be readily available. 28 Pa.

Based on review of clinical records and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to follow physician's orders for treatments for one of 20 residents reviewed (Resident R41). Findings include: Review of Resident R41's clinical record revealed an admission date of 8/30/22, with diagnoses including scalp wound, liver cancer, stroke with left-sided weakness, adrenal gland cancer, seizures, and dementia. Further review of Resident R41's clinical record revealed: a physician's order dated 4/06/23, to consult the neurosurgeon on 4/12/23, for suture removal and wound check; a physician's order dated 4/07/23, identified to apply saline soaked gauze to sutures to soften prior to removal every day shift until 4/10/23; give five milligrams (mg) of Valium (medication used to treat anxiety) by mouth one hour prior to suture removal until 4/10/23. Further review of Resident R41's clinical record lacked evidence of a physician's order to remove his/her sutures. Review of Resident R41's medication and treatment records for April 2023, revealed Valium five mg was administered on 4/10/23, at 1:01 p.m., and saline soaked gauze was applied to his/her sutures one time on 4/10/23. Review of Resident R41's clinical record revealed: a departmental progress note dated 4/06/23, that indicated the facility received a call from the neurosurgeon's office to schedule an appointment on 4/12/23, for suture removal and wound check; a departmental progress note dated 4/10/23, revealed that the sutures were removed by facility staff; a physician's progress note dated 4/12/23, that Resident R41's physician had been notified of the suture removal at the facility and would look into the matter further. An office visit progress note dated 4/12/23, indicated that the neurosurgeon believed the suture removal at the facility to be unfortunate and that the mid-portion of the incision had dehisced (opened back up). During an interview on 6/21/23, at 2:00 p.m. the Director of Nursing confirmed that the orders to administer Valium and apply saline soaked gauze did not instruct facility staff to remove Resident R41's sutures. 28 Pa.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Fairview Manor?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Fairview Manor Safe?
